INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1. Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using the system.
2. Check your local building and sanitation codes for installation compliance. INSTALLATION MUST MEET ALL
STATE AND LOCAL PLUMBING CODES, including, but not limited to:
• Distances that equipment should be placed from the main panel box and electrical outlets.
• Air gaps that must be provided for all drain lines.
3. Kinetico recommends that a WQA-certified installer perform the installation. Failure to install the system as
instructed will void the Limited Warranty.
4. Do not use on water with pressure exceeding 125 psi or temperature exceeding 120°F.
5. If the outlet of the softener is within 10 feet of a hot water tank, the installation of a check valve and/or
expansion tank should be considered.
6. Do not install the system in an area where the temperature can cause the unit to freeze. Damage to the system
will result.
7. Provide proper ventilation when using PVC cleaner or glue.
8. Use a ladder for all work overhead beyond your natural reach. If working continuously at a height of six feet or
more, employ the appropriate safety devices.
9. Use an appliance dolly when transporting equipment on stairways.
10. You must adhere to the following guidelines when soldering:
• Use only LEAD FREE solder.
• Close or remove PVC glue and primer containers and other flammable materials to prevent fire or
explosions.
• Do not wear loose clothing (i.e.: shirt tails, sleeves, etc.) when using a torch for soldering.
• Notify the customer if you will be disabling smoke alarm(s) during installation. Be sure to reconnect the
smoke alarm(s).
• Use a scorch pad to protect any surface that may be exposed to a torch flame or excessive heat.
• Wear protective eyewear while installing to prevent potential eye injury that could be caused by splattering
soldering materials or metal/plastic shavings.
11. When installing a plastic component inline, Kinetico recommends installing grounding straps BEFORE the lines
are actually cut to ensure that the ground is never broken.
12. On iron bearing water, Kinetico recommends using a salt that contains resin-cleaning additives. NOTE:
Kinetico recommends a clean grade of salt. DO NOT USE ROCK SALT.
SYSTEM INSTALLATION
1. Determine location to install equipment. Make sure that the unit will be on a flat surface. Test water to confirm
unit is properly sized for installation. Adjust AccuDial™ to required hardness (see AccuDial Adjustment Guide).
If sand/silt or turbidity is present, install a separate prefilter. ALL HIGH EFFICIENCY UNITS REQUIRE A
PREFILTER.
